if there's one trend we've seen this year it's for tiny TV sound bars the Z Vox aqui voice AV 200 is a 250 dollar speaker which is just 18 inches long but it promises to make TV dialogue more intelligible than ever before there's a lot to like about this speaker the first is the build quality it's solid aluminum with a steel grill it's got a bright orange display and buttons on the side if you replace the remote it's got two main inputs a 3.5 millimeter analog as well as an optical port unfortunately there's no Bluetooth it does have a headphone out that also doubles as a subwoofer output it's got a credit card remote that you can use to set the Z box up and then toss for your TV remote judged as a sound bar it's actually not that great though it's a little expensive for what it does for example it's pretty terrible playing music which is what many people buying a sound bar will want it to do it applies some pretty heavy-handed compression to everything which can make music sound just weird dialogue is what this TV speaker does though I'm all some may find the a key voice mode a little too piercing people with advanced hearing loss may actually prefer in the end 250 dollars is a lot for a speaker of this type and there are other options at the same price which are for more balanced sound and better features you
